Places in Mingalardon, Hlaing, Insein, Tamwe, South Oakkalapa townships and so on were flooded as drains overflowed.

"I was on the way back from work and it usually takes around 1 hour at most but since the downpour flooded roads, traffic jams formed and I got home late," said a woman that lives in Hlaing Township.

Traffic jams occurred throughout the city all along the day as it rained continuously.

"The rain made so much traffic jams. I came back from Aung Mingalar Highway Gate and it took me 2 hours to get to Tharkayta," said a driver.
